The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Go47]

Our smothering defense is on pace to hold Vandy to 40 this half.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

How a team can shoot so poorly on its own home floor is a mystery to me.

 

[Tnphil]

This team is not good at shooting at any time. cant hit layups,put backs,FTs or mid jumpers

Reminds me of some of the past LV's teams.

 

[Creeker]

rick getting out coached by two first year coaches back to back games lmao

He is getting out coached be neither Pope or Byingtion are first year head coaches. Byington has been a head coach since 2013 and Pope since 2015, that aren’t some fresh inexperienced guys.

 

[TheBigOne10]

We CANNOT STOP THEM

 

[TN1111]

Too easy for Vandy

 

[hUTch2002]

The defense isn’t hitting on much either.

Even if they do, the rebounding is atrocious.

 

[KB5252]

Vanderbilt has about three guys that can create.

Why are we guarding beyond the three and playing right into their screen game and letting it kill us. I'd switch up defense on them and make them hit from outside.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

6 straight layups for Vandy

 

[walkenvol]

22 punking our guys

 

[ashleyyy]

lol im gonna take a shot every time we bite on an obvious pump fake

 

[Volnbeers]

guessing we’re gonna get fed some ******** about a flu outbreak in the clubhouse after this lackluster performance

 

[BreatheUT]

Worst offense in the league

This is our culprit.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vols going to give up 90 to Candy, getting out rebounded and offense looks bad once again. This team will drop to 3 or 4 seed. There is no improvement considering where we are this season.

 

[Kicker82]

Can Barnes get out of his chair and actually coach? He’s acting like he doesnt even want to be there today

 

[whobethis16]

we have to do something about the atmosphere in TBA. feels like an NBA arena and not college.

Maybe have a squad that can do things like actually grab an offensive rebound sooner than 16:08 into the game, which can result in reasons to make noise?

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Trending towards a team that we will not have pleasant memories of I am afraid. Love them but they are becoming painful to watch!

 

[Proud Army Wife]

It seems this team is just checked out at this point for whatever reason.

 

[GBO18]

Igor’s defense is bad so far today.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

It getting harder and harder to defend Barnes teams having no idea what to do on offense

 

[A-RodWiLks]

What a pathetic effort on D all around. This team has totally lost it

 

[wmcovol]

Our smothering defense is on pace to hold Vandy to 40 this half.

40? Hope it’s 50. Vandy is getting anything they want at the basket.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So if our defense doesn’t show up we’re absolutely screwed

 

[87Vol]

Pathetic showing. This team will be lucky to make the 2nd round of the NCAA’s this year

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Igor’s defense is bad so far today.

Everyone's
